Letter from the CSH Director
The Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) was established in 2011 and fosters interdisciplinary research across Earth and planetary sciences, the search for life in our Universe, philosophy of science and biomedical research. The CSH is part of a rich scientific environment, at the local, national and international levels.
The CSH connects research groups located at different institutes and faculties of the University of Bern to trigger curiosity-driven research and cross-fertilisation of ideas. At the national level, the CSH is an important partner of the National Center for Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS created in 2014. Internationally, the CSH is involved in the scientific exploitation a number of large-scale projects and missions, such as CHEOPS, the first Swiss-led satellite.
The CSH runs a number of programs in order to stimulate interdisciplinary research and support early career researchers, such as the CSH and Bernoulli Fellowships and the Visiting Professorship program. The CSH also runs a number of interaction mechanisms to encourage dialogue and exchange of ideas across all fields. The CSH also promotes equality and diversity at the University to foster an inclusive workplace.
